What I'd like to see is athletes supporting athletes on their own. Not because the coach "sent" them. When I was playing, we'd go to softball games just because they were our brethren. And the women would come to ours for the same reason. "Sending" them is a great first step, but the pinnacle is athletes going to other games without a coach making them or giving them an hour off of practice to go.

Just curious, did y'all go to every other intercollegiate sports event held on your campus to support your "brethren"? Until puc chimes in and says that during the CJL reign our football team supported every other sports teams games held on campus when they were in town there is no pinnacle ....

Personally, although it's good to show support for other teams on campus, I think CJS did this as a football team building thing more than anything else ...

Can we just be happy? I think it’s great that the players are out there supporting other teams. Coach Gregory has done the same thing. These are the things that will keep people coming back to college

What’s really awesome is seeing former Bulls having their children play for us. The Verpale family’s daughter is now playing soccer at USF. That’s pretty awesome IMO.

They were also dressing alike in workouts and picking up garbage. The culture installation is underway.

As a college athlete we rarely did this as most of us were too exhausted and/or had to use the time hitting the books. Makes since the football team did during this during the summer as their schedule is not as demanding as it will be in a few weeks.

A little soccer since the field was near ours and we'd wander down there after Fall practices. MBB from time to time. I'd be lying if I said I went to any golf or tennis, but mostly because the guys on those teams at the time were ********.

That’s absurd, CJL actually used to make the other teams play more games and every game was required to be a double header just so we could give more support the the bare minimum of attending every game. CJL recognized the difference between ordinary and extraordinary was that little extra.

Yep.  It's this kind of blind faith that has kept me a Bulls fan for nearly 50 years and gotten me to my third marriage.
